Brenton(i)
13 This I also saw to be wisdom under the sun, and it is great before me:
14 suppose there were a little city, and few men in it; and there should come against it a great king, and surround it, and build great mounds against it;
15 and should find in it a poor wise man, and he should save the city through his wisdom: yet no man would remember that poor man.
16 And I said Wisdom is better than power: yet the wisdom of the poor man is set at nought, and his words not listened to.
17 The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of them that rule in folly.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: and one sinner will destroy much good.
